Words About Cardigan (Spring, 1972)

SPRING 1972

Mr. _ and Mrs. Wakely Visit South America Mr. and Mrs. Norman C. Wakely left Monday, March 27 to tour parts of South America. They returned Tuesday, April 18, a short three weeks later, after visiting twelve South American countries.

In the following article, Mrs. Wakely comments on those busy but enjoyable three weeks: The Southern half of the Americas is exotic, cosmopolitan, history-rich and scenically stunning with the charm and antiquity of the continent intact. We went there to visit schools, to say hello to alumni, visit with present parents, alumni parents, prospective parents and friends. Our goal was to carry the Cardigan words to as many new and old friends as possible in twenty-two days. We visited twentyfive schools, stayed in twelve different countries, dealt with eleven different currencies and heard three different languages. It was a very rewarding experience.

The schools range all the way from a multi-million dollar American cliff-hanging plant in Rio to warm friendly parochial schools to a charming little Indian school on the edge of Lake Maracaibo to all of the International Schools trying to provide an American education for our Americans living and working abroad. Each had its own personality and way of doing things, and yet it was interesting to see the threads of continuity running throughout the fabric of education which they had as their goal.

Our biggest delight was of course seeing "old" friends: Terry Baker '63 and his wife Barbara who are stationed in Panama until June and then Uncle Sam is going to let him cool off in Newfoundland just twenty miles from Bob Brayman's home; Juan Velasquez '72 in Lima, Peru gave us a delightful evening and a nice tour the next morning of his school; Dan Barry '71 and John Barry '72 in Buenos Aires both looking wonderful and being great hosts along with the rest of the Barry family; John Dennison S.S. '71; Marco Suplicy S.S. '71, Lisa Suplicy S.S. '71; Lolo Beaty S.S. '70 and '71, all in Sao Paulo, [Meg Beaty S.S. '70 and '71 is now in school in Switzerland, brother Bruce '73 was studying hard (we hope) back at C.M.S.] saw the movie with glees of remembering; Mike '71 and Steve '72 Talley in Rio de Janiero who were at the airport to greet us at 7 : 30 one morning and spent the day being our Portuguese speaking guides - we were irnpressed as to how quickly they have picked up the language; a lovely evening with the Sichels family in Caracus - son Steven S.S. '68 was in the states going to school; Jose del Rio '71 was at the airport with the Sones to greet us in Santo Domingo - he's enjoying Blair

Academy; Carlos Pou S.S. '71 flew over those Puerto Rican mountains to spend several hours with us in San Juan; and · on our final stop in Montreal there was Chris Carnell '64 to tell us about the busy life of a pharmaceutical salesman in the Maritime Provences.

New friends were many and we enjoyed each and every occasion from lovely dinners, to lunch on the Ecuator, to Indian villages, to canal boating and intriguing boat storage, to seeing coffee and sugar cane growing, to running a Copacabana Beach, to seeing a flower market, to attending a local circus, to having a magnificent flight over lhe Andes, to observing various Indian dress and ways of life to trying all the various foods of each country and to school visits.

Trustees Plan For The Future This year, the Board of Trustees created a Long Range Planning Committee and asked it to conduct a survey among our parents, students, alumni, and faculty to help develop a picture of Cardigan's role as an independent school in the Seventies. Much effort went into planning the questionnaire with many versions being drafted before the final form was achieved. John Coffin , Chairman of the Committee, is extremely appreciative of the results. It is very apparent from the 300 that have returned thus far that a lot of time and thought has gone into answering the questions; and more important, people have been frank in their replies. We have been busy analyzing the results so that a preliminary presentation can be made to the Trustees and lncorporators at their Spring Meeting on· May 12.

An Invitation PARENTS, ALUMNI, AND FRIENDS Cardigan Mountain School cordially invites you to attend Commencement Exercises Saturday morning, June the third nineteen hundred and seventy two at eleven o'clock at the Cardigan Mountain School Chapel_ in Canaan, New Hampshire

Mr. and Mrs. Sadlon and Ten CMS Students Tour Greece

Annual Giving 7" Latest Report All of us who have worked on this year's Annual Giving Program have been very pleased with its progress. We are now heading down the home stretch with just a few thousand dollars to go before we reach our $60,000 goal. Most of our pledges have been fulfilled so that we now have $52,462 in hand with $3,180 remaining in pledges for a total of $55,642.

Because of the tight enrollment situation, we are finishing this school year with a small deficit. This will be offset by the donations that we have already received, but there are still many things that need to be done . One of the most pressing items is the need for some $10,000 to replace our old school bus. The 40-seater we have in mind will be more comfortable , more economical, and most important, safer than the present model. We are pleased to say that we already have $1,000 earmarked for this purpose . Any donations of any size are welcome!

While the participation is still not what we had hoped for - with the exception of the Trustees and Incorporators with 100% - we are looking forward to an increase in the last few weeks before the end of our fiscal year on June 30.

Mr. and Mrs. Jay K. Sadlon escorted ten Cardigan students on a school sponsored tour of Greece during Spring Recess. The Sadlons, Bruce Bedford, Nicky Bhirom Bhakdi, Rob Lenk, Don MacDonnell, Scooter Mitchell, Chris Nielsen, Sandy Stone, Parker Thomson, !=razer Watkins and Chad Smith left March 15 and returned April 5 from a very educational and enjoyable experience. The following is an article written by Mr. and Mrs. Sadlon regarding their Mediterranean journey : CMS GOES TO GREECE - A tale to match Travels with Charley and Mrs. 'arris Goes to Paris which any one of the 10 boys (or Mr. & Mrs. Sadlon) will tell with a couple .of hours and a projector. The bleak beginnings of the journey in the snow at Cardigan and the cold of Montreal were . forewarnings that anything to come was bound to be better.

And, we were not disappointed . The myths of the gods and the ruins of ancient Greece came alive much due to our guide Nana, who taught us expertly and quizzed us unmercifully throughout our Classical Tour to Corinth, Mycenae, Epidaurus, Nauplia, Olympia, Delphi and of course Athens.

By the end of this leg of the trip, we were not only schooled in the ways of the ancients, but skilled in the arts of bargain hunting, lizard catching (some of us), olive eating, rubble climbing, note-taking perched on columns and photographing at the bus speed of 60 kilometers. We were 12 seasoned travelers, when in A thens for the second time, and now knew "please", "thank you" and our names in Greek. Mr. Constantine Nicoloudis (our travel associate in Greece) with mustache, watch fob and the air of royalty, entertained us in his penthouse apartment after a grueling exam on names, dates and places. Rob Lenk, high scorer on the test, received a 1st century B.C. oil lamp as his prize.

After a· second visit to the Acropolis, a tour of the National Archeological Museum, a worm's-eye-view of a most impressive parade on the Greek's Independence Day and general roaming around Athens, we flew to the island of Crete. Here, we enjoyed 3 days of touring and the ancient sites of the Minoan civilization and the newer "hippie·" civ- · ilization in the caves of Matala. Shopping and riding in "bump-bump" cars at the local fairground also took up a great deal of our time and money . · Our final stop was the island of Rhodes, where we spent 7 glorious, summertime days. In between an excursion to the magnificent Acropolis of Lindos, a tour of medieval Rhodes and a day's trip to Turkey (where we perfected our bargaining) , we successfully covered every square inch · of the island and its beaches on foot, or more popular (much more), by motorbike. On Easter Day, we were treated to good ol' hamburgers and hot dogs at the country villa of an American family (friends of friends of Cardigan).

Our farewells to Rhodes and Greece were too early in the morning and not very sincere at that - we knew we would all try to go back.

Alumni continued the first kayak crossing of the _Sea of Cortez was made by Prescott students and faculty from Baja to the Mex ican mainland. They w·ere told by experienced people that it couldn't be done , and Len was among the group. In fact, in the pamphlet and on a poster, there is a striking photograph of Len and a fellow kayaker crossing the Sea. In a news release, again from Prescott, we learned that he led s~yen students on "a major mountain climbing expedition in Mexico that will be remembered as a true learning experience. The · members ..• succeeded in climbing volcanoes Orizaba and Oppocatepetl." They did not reach the summit, almost 19,000 feet, of the first mountain until the second try. The first one was interrupted by a freak blizzard, forcing them to dig into an ice cave and survive "freezing, su.ffocating, and an avalanche. On the second attempt they reached the summit without mishap and returned to base camp." The second mountain, almost 18,000 feet, was to be climbed in one day, but when they were over 12,000 feet, a rock struck a climber in a party further up and "instantly flipped him over and sent him tumbling down the slope, unconscious."

One of the Prescott group tackled the Mexican as Len hurried down to administer first aid. The men in the party brought the climber down the mountain with the help of other climbers, and it was considered that the "actions, cohesion and quick thinking of these members of the Prescott Col1ege . . . probably saved the climber's life." The following day, the ascent was made without mishap . Congratulations are in order for STEVEN G. PAQUETTE who was married on February 8 to the former Elaine Gasquy . They are living in Modesto, CA where Steve is a freshman. His military is complete, Steve having served two years, one in Vietnam.
